By age 20 diagnosis rates for men and women almost equal, research finds, challenging assumptions of gender discrepancy
Females may be just as likely to be autistic as males but boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood, according to a large-scale study.
Research led by the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden scrutinised the diagnosis rates of autism for people born in Sweden between 1985 and 2020. Of the 2.7 million people tracked, 2.8% were diagnosed with autism between the ages of two and 37.

Steven Noble was commissioned by Hogarth (NYC) to create three custom portrait illustrations fin an engraving style for Verizon's new billboards ads. The three portrait include Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin, and George Washington based on the dollar bill with their faces in a "surprising" facial gesture.

Billboard ads were first released in Times Square (NYC).
European security officials believe two Russian space vehicles have intercepted the communications of at least a dozen key satellites over the continent. From a report: Officials believe that the likely interceptions, which have not previously been reported, risk not only compromising sensitive information transmitted by the satellites but could also allow Moscow to manipulate their trajectories or even crash them.
Russian space vehicles have shadowed European satellites more intensively over the past three years, at a time of high tension between the Kremlin and the West following Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For several years, military and civilian space authorities in the West have been tracking the activities of Luch-1 and Luch-2 -- two Russian objects that have carried out repeated suspicious maneuvers in orbit.
Both vehicles have made risky close approaches to some of Europe's most important geostationary satellites, which operate high above the Earth and service the continent, including the UK, as well as large parts of Africa and the Middle East. According to orbital data and ground-based telescopic observations, they have lingered nearby for weeks at a time, particularly over the past three years. Since its launch in 2023, Luch-2 has approached 17 European satellites.

On Monday 4th August 2025, legendary South Australian pub rock favourites ‘The Angels’ have been immortalised by the City of Adelaide with the naming of a city laneway featuring striking public artworks.
The Angels Lane is located adjacent to the Hindley Street Music Hall in the vibrant West End, with the popular live music venue part of the creative project.
It will become part of a growing trail of laneways within the Adelaide CBD celebrating South Australia’s musical heritage while inviting locals and visitors to support contemporary artists and businesses.
The Angels become the fifth act to receive this honour, joining iconic local musicians Sia Furler, Cold Chisel, No Fixed Address and Paul Kelly.
Lord Mayor Dr Jane Lomax-Smith said the naming and transformation of the laneway was a fitting tribute to The Angels, one of South Australia’s most beloved rock bands.
“From packed pubs to festival stages, The Angels helped shape the sound of South Australia and now their legacy has a permanent place in our city’s streets,” said the Lord Mayor.
“This honour both acknowledges rock royalty and reinforces Adelaide’s global reputation as a UNESCO City of Music.”
The Angels Lane features artworks which bring the band’s legacy to life through a dynamic mix of media. They include:
A large-scale mural on the side of the Hindley Street Music Hall facing Morphett Street
A second bold mural next to the newly installed Hindley Street public toilets
Glowing lightboxes and stencilled projections beamed from the TAFE SA Currie Street campus
The Angels founding member John Brewster said the band owed its early days to Adelaide.
“We are proud sons of Adelaide. Our journey began with The Moonshine Jug and String Band. We played all the music venues, the universities, even Marcellina’s Pizza, the Pancake Kitchen, Cowley’s Pie Cart and more,” he said.
“We couldn’t be happier for the City of Adelaide to recognise the heritage of The Angels with The Angels Lane.”
South Australian filmmaker and digital artist CAPITAL WASTE (Liam Somerville) and internationally renowned street artist Vans the Omega (Joel Van Moore) were commissioned by Council to create artworks that span the laneway.
"It’s an honour to reunite with The Angels again after shooting their documentary Kickin’ Down The Door in 2022,” said Somerville.
“Our work references the iconic imagery of The Angels including their theatrical approach to onstage lighting, classic album covers and onstage antics.”
The City of Adelaide said the realisation of The Angels Lane has been made possible through valued partnerships with TAFE SA and the Kambitsis Group.
Background
Formed in Adelaide in 1970 as the Moonshine Jug and String Band by brothers John and Rick Brewster, the addition of Bernard ‘Doc’ Neeson in 1972 saw the band evolve into The Keystone Angels in 1974 and then The Angels in 1975.
The Angels’ massive breakthrough moment came in 1978 when their smash-hit album Face to Face achieved 4-times platinum status with rhythm section Graham ‘Buzz’ Bidstrup and Chris Bailey.
Electrifying live performances and enduring hits including ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, ‘Take A Long Line’, ‘No Secrets’, ‘Marseille’ and ‘Shadow Boxer’ secured The Angels’ place in Australian rock history.

The Torment of Saint Anthony is the earliest surviving work attributed to Michelangelo, painted by him in 1487 or 1488 when he was 12 or 13 years old. This is an intense painting, the kind of thing that would have resulted in Michelangelo’s parents visiting the principal’s office had the young man painted this in a contemporary 7th grade art class.
Until 2009, it was believed the painting was a copy of a documented Michelangelo original, but a restoration and x-ray & infrared scans of the work showed evidence that the painting was done by the future master.
Michelangelo’s work was based on Martin Schongauer’s engraving Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons. This video provides a great overview of the history of the painting:
